《The Last Player》Chapter 2
Advertisement
it's a pity, for 30 years... every day more than 30 hours (game time) he spent.
but this was destiny, one that someone like him could not change. so has he given up?
of course not
....
'what? why haven't I been expelled?' Allen was confused. right now he was in a very dark place, as if he was floating in a space without light.
[Thanks for playing our game for 30 years, Allen noir]
"Eh? Shouldn't I be the one thanking you? If it wasn't for this game, I would have definitely lived as a corporate slave instead of a free adventurer in this world"
That's right, Allen lives in this world. he earns money from selling items or currency, using it for his daily life.
[Due to your participation, the prize has been awarded]
"What, a gift?"
Allen was confused, he knew very well that the God crown company was currently at its most critical period. what gifts do they want to give?
[Hope your second trip goes well]
"what? trip.. second time?" but before Allen could receive any complete information, his head suddenly hurt so much it felt like it was about to explode.
Memories of the past are now starting to repeat in his mind. he's been through a lot, both good and bad
he remembers having once set up a workshop (guild), but the workshop had to be disbanded because the members were getting smaller and smaller. they all switch to more profitable games
and at the time of disbandment, there was only 1 person who continued to be by his side. unfortunately that person has to leave the world forever
Since then, Allen has started his journey alone. saw the top players starting to disappear one by one.
and he arrived at a time when there were only less than 100 people playing this game. The 100 people are also mostly just newbies who are just trying or streamers who create nostalgic content

but Allen knew that they would disappear as time passed. And here... he was, alone in a game that had taken the world to a whole new level.
'what happened?' Allen seemed to have lost his consciousness, fell into an endless dark hole
...
in a busy bar
Noisy diners filled the room and a strong smell of alcohol wafted from a distance.
'Where am I?' The man in the black coat slowly woke up, holding his head which was in so much pain
"Eh? it doesn't hurt now-"
!
he woke up. look around and see himself
"what.. what happened?" He tried to remember. previously he was inside Creatia waiting for the server to close. Then why is he at the bar right now?
his voice also feels weird, it's like he is become younger and his body getting fresh again like when he was in his prime
"Impossible..." Allen was very surprised. this can't be as he thinks, right?
Allen then tried to reach into his pocket and found a rectangular sailing object and had a button on the side to turn it on
Allen is getting more and more shocked and suspicious. he then pressed the power button. and after that the screen shows a photo of a woman with black hair with a smile on her face. there is also an inscription that shows at 02:45 Friday, December 1, 2021
"I... really went back in time" Allen was getting more shocked and surprised, his breathing became heavy and his heart was beating fast
-
after a few minutes of calming down. Allen was finally able to think with a cool head.
Currently, December 1, 2021.
he is only 25 years old. and today, he was supposed to go with his friends to celebrate their graduation.

"Hah... they even had leave me alone" Allen sighed, considering the reckless attitude of his friends, it must be true that they left him. they must be very drunk and roaming the city right now
but there's something Allen is always thinking about more than anything right now
Creatia!
Creatia, the game he had been playing for 30 years and had to close the game forever. but right now, the game hasn't even been released yet
Allen still has 1 month...
"What should I do before the release?" Allen began to remember things that happened 30 years ago. if it existed in the past before virtual games existed, it might be impossible to remember in detail. but because of the brain-boosting effect of the virtual helmet, Allen can remember it like it happened yesterday
But Allen knew what he had to do and his goal was returned to the past.
Avoid closing the game and changing destiny!
but a moment later, the bar TV rang and showed the evening news brought by a man
Is the most awaited virtual reality game in the world, Creatia. will actually release the game in the near future? there are some rumors that this game will be released soon, but at this time the developer still hasn't confirmed it
-
"Huh, at least that's bullshit. Hasn't this project been in the works for 10 years since the initial notification?"
"What do you know? My father is one of the managers in the company that owns shares in the God Crown company. And he said this game was created for the first time 20 years ago"
"Haha, I'll bet they're doomed and embarrassed to publish it. Reality games with over 90% authenticity? That's just bullshit!" said the visitor in the chair behind Allen
'I see...' Allen smiled
Allen remembers that the world-shaking news was not released 1 month before the game's release, but 3 days!
that means Allen still has time. he should start gathering whatever he needs for his second journey
Whether it's dungeon tricks, powerful techniques, rare items or even how to kill a demon lord, he knows it!
"I promise to make this game not close the game for the second time"
saying that, Allen then got up from his seat and walked towards the exit of the bar

7780, or: Children of a White Rider
As one war ends, another begins. The year Fastidious: 7780 marks deteriorating relations between the Siralians, devout sailors of the Ordos Canticula, and the Ardalians, matchless fire mages ruling neverending farmlands. In the shadows, Ardalian rebels successfully unlock an ancient magical gate. Their desire? A soldier, immutable, unstoppable, and enslaved. Eli Stuart and his fiancee Patricia Secord find themselves thrown into a strange world. Trapped in a land of hostile magic and alien politics, the two of them must use their newfound powers to make alliances, stop their enemies, and ultimately reunite. However, something goes wrong. In this chaos, as the world begins to unravel in foul ways, something else stirs. Something else found its way through. Author's Note: I will update this story as often as I can. I am quite busy and write this during breaks at work. This is one of those goon-squad stories with a million characters, so "dizzying" might be a good way to describe the energy. Much of what builds up to the first arc happens in the first ten chapters, which are quite long. For that reason, if you have difficulty getting through the story, I understand, though things don't really start happening until Chapter 8-10.

In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun.

Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes.

The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
